(

Last Thursday, the UN
Security Council ap-
proved a resolution ex-
tending for another six
months the mandate of
UNIFIL and criticizing
Israel for its activities in
Lebanon. The vote was
12-0.
The United States, while
calling the condemnation of
Israel one-sided, voted for it.
The Soviet Union and
Czechoslovakia abstained
and China, as usual, did not
participate. China opposes
use of UN forces.
The American delegate,
Richard Petree, assailed Is-
rael for "contributing" to
tensions in Lebanon by fail-
ure to cooperate. with UN-
IFIL. He said the U.S. could
not accept constant
harassment of UNIFIL
troops by Christian militia
supplied and supported by
Israel. But he also said the
Arab world must help to end
Palestinian "extremist" at-
tacks against Israel.
The U.S. "deplores
equally" acts of violence and
terrorism "directed indis-
criminately against Isareli
citizens," he said. Yehuda
Blum denounced the "bla-
tant bias" of the resolution's
anti-Israel portions.
